There are lots of chess programmes(Fritz, chess master, etc.,) just grab one of them. I'll recommend free internet chess site (www.freechess.org). really cool there

i agree. Yahoo chess board is really nice but players' ratings are really unfair using the standard calculation.

i think that a big part of chess is human action and reaction.
that's why i'm not a real big fan of digital chess, it's fun to play in person.
messing with people seems to be my specialty, salad.

Opponent's psychic power was a blow to me in last tournment. He hold the book in right hand. And his left hand never stopped tapping my black pawn! (We traded pawns.) Luckily i could maintain the position and tied. I was really angry
